Services Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy offers for adhd
Children with ADHD often struggle with attention regulation, impulse control, and managing sensory input—areas where occupational therapy can make a meaningful difference. At Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy in Across, we address these challenges through three interconnected services. Our ADHD support focuses on developing strategies for task initiation, sustained focus, and self-regulation in everyday settings like school and home. Sensory processing work helps children who are either over- or under-responsive to sensory information; for example, we might use a weighted lap pad during homework time or incorporate movement breaks with a therapy ball to help settle the nervous system. Fine motor interventions support the coordination and control needed for writing and self-care tasks, which can be frustrating barriers for children with attention difficulties. Activities might include pencil grip exercises, threading tasks, or adaptive writing tools. Many families access these services through NDIS funding (2025–26 pricing structures apply), though Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy can also work with families using private or other funding arrangements. Our therapists work collaboratively with you to identify which areas will have the greatest impact on your child's daily functioning and confidence.

About adhd
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental difference that affects attention, activity level, and impulse control. In Australia, ADHD is diagnosed by a paediatrician, psychiatrist, or psychologist, often after a family or school notices ongoing differences in attention, behaviour, or self-regulation across multiple settings.

Common questions
Can an occupational therapist diagnose ADHD?
No, occupational therapists cannot diagnose ADHD—that requires assessment by a paediatrician or psychologist. However, an OT can identify how attention difficulties and sensory sensitivities are affecting your child's everyday activities, school performance, and self-care. We work alongside your child's medical team to support them with practical strategies and skill-building.
How long does occupational therapy for ADHD typically take?
This varies depending on your child's needs and goals. Some children benefit from short-term intervention focused on specific skills, while others benefit from ongoing support. Thrive Children's Occupational Therapy will discuss a realistic timeframe during your initial consultation and review progress regularly with you.
Will occupational therapy help my child at school?
Yes. We work on skills like attention, organisation, fine motor control, and sensory regulation that directly support learning. We can also liaise with your child's school and provide strategies or recommendations that teachers can use in the classroom to help your child succeed.
